LXIII
The Raven
Angie was saying to me with the woods in her eye
“I want to go back to the cave
And look at the icicles without having to smell your cologne.”
So along with the browns of the night
I gave her all my hair,
Some ice cube trays, and the moon was coming towards us
On its belly like a snake
Or like my old best friend David Fausel in a drunken rampage.
When your mother gets mad cos you spilled wine on her mattress
You’ll find out why my streets are only so wide
Until night time makes them cold.
Here come ten trees or here come ten dresses
Into your life and into your jeans.
As for me, I just want to climb up onto your face.
